Kotlin
Step it up: Compose for Desktop
Developing for multi-platform is picking up speed as the Kotlin Multi-Platform gets better with every release. That mostly means that shared logic is being written in Kotlin which can then be targeted to many target platforms. Up until recently it wasn't easy to develop UI for multiple platforms on the Desktop side. That is changing with the introduction of Compose for Desktop, which will allow building application UI for Linux, macOS and Windows.
In this session you will get to understand what is Compose for Desktop, how does it work and how can you jump right into building for multiple platforms opening up the vast domains other than the mobile.

Model-View-Intent is a simple architectural pattern in principle, but questions come up when you try to implement it yourself. We draw on our 2+ years of experience with orbit-mvi, our MVI library, to show best practices for using an MVI system in your application. How do you integrate with Android? What happens when you rotate your device? What about navigation or one-off events? How do you make the system type-safe? What about developer experience? If you’ve ever had similar questions come ...
